Chapter 111

“Acute appendicitis. She needs to undergo surgery immediately. The doctor pulled his mask down.

Whew. Amelie felt a weight lifted off her shoulders, and she slowly relaxed. Just appendicitis. Not
something terminal. She felt her strength coming back to her.

“Arrange the surgery right away, doctor,” said Leo.

A nurse came to them with a consent form, and Amelie signed it. Then the nurse took it back. “Make
your payment at the counter. The surgery will begin soon after.”

“I’ll do it,” said Leo.

“It’s alright. I’ll do it,” Amelie declined politely and tried to pay for the fees herself.

A frown furrowed Leo’s brow. “I am her father as well.”

Amelie stared at him in surprise for a moment. That’s the first time he’s calling himself her father out of
kindness.

Leo whipped his phone out. “Online transaction works faster. We won’t have to line up, and Bria can go
through the surgery faster.”

Well, if he insists. She let him pay for the surgery. Amelie stood by his side, biting her lip. She didn’t
stop him because she recalled Bria talking in her sleep last night and thought Bria would love it if she
found out her father was showing concern for her.

The appendectomy didn’t take too long. About half an hour later, Bria was already coming out of the
emergency room. But she was still unconscious thanks to the anesthetic. And she still looked pale from



the agony she felt earlier. The girl might be unconscious, but she still looked cute. Her nose was petite,
and her lips were pursed.

Her parents pushed her into the ward. As Leo watched his daughter, he felt something melting his
heart. He could see that the child was his. She resembled him. It’s so magical.

The doctor was about to place Bria on the bed, but Leo stopped him. “I’ll do it.” He bent over and
carefully took the girl in his arms, worried he might pull on her wound. He was trying his best to hold
her as steadily as he could. One hand was holding her back, and the other held her feet. He was as
gentle as he could be, placing her on the bed like she was a treasure that must be handled with care.

Amelie watched the whole thing, and she felt a little touched. She’s gonna be thrilled when she knows
that her father showed her this much care. She looked at Bria.

The doctor told them about the dos and don’ts after the appendectomy, and Amelie listened intently so
she wouldn’t miss anything.

Leo was watching the nurse as she hooked Bria up to the IV infusion. His heart skipped a beat, and he
frowned as the nurse injected the needle into his daughter’s skin.

Intimidated by his presence, the nurse missed the spot, forcing her to pull the needle out and restart
the process.

Leo’s face turned black as thunder, and it didn’t help the nurse. Once again, the nurse missed the spot,
but this time, she had not the courage to pull the needle out. She kept turning the needle around in the
girl’s flesh, trying to find the right position. But this was even worse than pulling out and restarting the
process. If Bria were awake, she would’ve howled in pain.

Even though she couldn’t feel pain, Leo couldn’t take it anymore. Seeing the nurse’s clumsy operation
of the needle angered him. “Enough!” he growled and gripped the nurse’s hand.



Thinking that Leo might hit her, the nurse paled, and she teared up in fear.

“Out,” he hissed.

The nurse ran away, burying her face in her hands.

Amelie had just seen the doctor off. When she came back to the room, she saw the nurse running
away in tears, while Leo stood around looking incensed. What happened?

Leo looked at his daughter’s hand and whipped his phone out. “Mr. Lang, I need you here right now.
My daughter has fallen ill.”

A moment later, someone opened the door, and in came the hospital’s director. He tucked his pen into
his coat’s pocket and approached Leo. “What seems to be the matter?” he asked kindly. Of course, he
was kind. Leo was one of the biggest stakeholders of this private hospital.

“She requires an IV infusion. Help me with it.” Leo pointed at Bria’s hand.

I’m a cardiologist, and you expect me to do this?

Even Amelie thought it was a bit too much.

But the director said nothing. He approached Bria and quickly hooked her up to the IV infusion. Oh, the
previous nurse must have messed up. He then appointed the most professional nurse they had to take
care of the girl.

Only then did Leo feel slightly appeased.

The director stayed back for a moment, and then he left.



Amelie wrung a towel dry and started wiping her daughter’s face and hands of the sweat. Leo was still
hanging around when she was done, much to her surprise. She stood up and met his gaze. “She just
got through surgery. I can’t move her too much, so we’ll be staying around for a bit.”

A hint of love flashed in Leo’s eyes. “I texted you last night.”

Really? Amelie took her phone and finally saw his text. Wait. He’s telling us to stay? And he’s not going
to take her from me? Well, this is a surprise. She cocked her eyebrow.

But he’s going to marry Elyse soon, and they’ll have their own children. I shouldn’t take his advice. He
doesn’t really love Bria. The child he’s going to have with Elyse… That’s the one he’s going to love.
And that cemented her decision to leave. She would never have her daughter go through the torture of
seeing her own father loving another child and sparing no affection for her.

Amelie kept her decision a secret, and silence swooped down on them. A moment later, she said,
“She’s fine now. I can take care of her. Do what you have to do.”

She’s telling me off, huh? Leo turned around and met her smile. It was a perfectly cordial and polite
smile.

But he felt alienated by that smile. And something squeezed his heart, suffocating him What’s
happening to me? He shook all the weird thoughts away and left the room.

Amelie returned to her daughter and brushed her fingertip across Bria’s cheek. Gently, she said, “Get
well soon, Bria.”

Wait. I’ve heard that voice before. He stopped in his tracks and swiveled back to Amelie. “Who are
you?” He clutched her shoulders.
